Item Details
Description
Rome, 1st to 4th century CE. This is a small bronze figurine of a prancing dog with ears erect, one paw lifted forward, and lightly incised details to suggest fur.

This one is a lifelike and charming representation! Size: 1.5" L x 0.5" W x 1.55" H (3.8 cm x 1.3 cm x 3.9 cm)
